POOR MANKATO.
For an Alleged Slight, Mankato Of
ficeseekers and the'Fair to be
Boycotted.

A farmer living near Garden City
stated to a reporter yesterday afternoon
that the whole country around Garden
City was up in arms because the Manka-
to newspapers did not send representa-
tives to the fair held at that village last
week. He stated that the farmers took
it to be clearly a case of favoritism on
the part of Mankato people, they BOOM
ing their own fair and trying to kill off
all others in the county. He complained
that none of the Mankato papers had
any notices of the fair to speak of. The
farmers, he said, were bound to get even
with Mankato for its alleged sefishness
and would boycott the fair to be held
here next week.
Moreover. accor ding to the statement
of this farmer, political tempest will
arise at the next election of county Of
ficers that will revolutionize matters and
disappoint the plans of Mankato poll
ticians and candidates for political pre-
ferment. Every slate containing the
names of ManKato candidates is to be
broken by a slate to be made up of farm
ers. Hereafter Mankatoites are to be
given a wide berth in political matters
and not single inhabitant of this city is
to receive an office.
The indignation expressed by this
farmer may or may not be prevalent
among some of the farmers of the coun-
ty. We hope that it is not, but if such
is the case it is simply the result of a
misunderstanding on their part. The
fact that circumstances prevented the
FREE PRESS or any other city paper from
having representative upon the ground
is no cause for unkind feelings towards
the city, or for an attempt to boycott
the fair of the Southern Minnesota Live
Stock and Fair Association, which is as
much their fair as 1t is Mankato's. We
cannot believe that there is any general
determination in the country to stay
away from this fair on any account. The
fair will go on just the same, if few
kickers stay away, and will be just as
great a success as if they had been pres
ent.
So far as the FREE PRESS is concerned
we can say that this paper was entirely
ignored bv the management of the Gar
den City fair, not even a notification of
the date thereof or premium list being
sent to this Office, to say nothing of other
courtesies which are usually extended to
the press by those desiring and expect
| ing newspaper notice. If everybody
else in Mankato was treated in the same
style the Garden City folks have certain
" no ground for their complaint of being
ignored bv this city.

pEArH oF.MRs. TYNER.

Mrs. Caroline F, Tyner died at hei
home on Third street Sunday night, after
lingering illness from Bright's disease.
She was one of the oldest residents OF
Mankato, having come here with her
husband IN 1857, and has lived here con-
tinuously ever since. Mrs. Tyner was
born in Woodford county, Kentucky, IN
1918, and her parents moved TO Indiana
when she was three years of age. At
the age of seventeen she moved to Wab-
ash, and in 1899 was married to Mr.. ID.
IL. Tyner. Her husband died In 1877.
Mrs. Tyner was strictly one of the pio-
neer settlers of Mankato, and her name
is identified with much of the early
history of the place. She was lady as
greatly respected as she was well-known.
She was an devout Christian and mem
Der of the M. Z. Church, having joined
in 1862. She left no children of her own,
though two adopted children survive
her, Harmon Tyner, of Ohio, and Mrs.
Hannah Hall. Since the death of her
husband Mrs. Tyner has supported her
self by her own industry. She has en-
deared herself to the hearts of many by
her kind and generous deeds, and her
memory will long remain fragrant in the
minds of a host of her friends. The
funeral occurred at one o'clock Tues
day afternoon, from the NJ. E. Church.
Rev. Chas. Savage, of Omaha, conduct
ing the services.
Our friend has gone, she has passed away,
Henceforth for her there il rest;
Her busy hands are folded now
Upon her peaceful breast
The fragrant flowers she loved so well
Will soon be wIthered by the frost;
But in her peaceful home above
She will never feel their loss.
The altar of the church no more she'll deck
With tokens of her love;
But Joy and peace will now be hers
In the Fathers House above.

under the new order of things whereby
the second Tuesday night of the month
is made time of regular meeting. May.
or Pfau presided, and seven aldermen
answered to their names-just quorum
though another alderman afterwards
came in. The minutes of the proceed
ing meeting were read and approved.
The attention of the council was called
TO the fact that water from the Omaha
railroad runs across and damages Mr..
I. l.. Buckley's lot, corner Elm and
Fourth streets. The matter was referred
to the street committee and city engi-
neer.
Bonds 8, 9and 10, issued to the Mime
apolis & st. Louis railroad were ordered
cancelled, having been paid out of the
sinking fund.
The attention of the council was di-
rected TO the rotten and unsafe condi-
ton of the bridge across Guenther's
creek, north of the oil mill. The matter
was referred to the street committee and
city engineer. The latter estimated the
cost of a new bridge at 500.
The street commissioner was ordered
to construct sidewalk on the south side
of Rock street, across Willow street and
along the Cannon Valley railroad track,
where it is the city's duty to construct
one.
The deed for the reservoir property
was ordered recorded by the city attor-

1T has been remarked by number
of citizens that the city is making q
serious mistake by laying twelve-inch
sewer pipe on Front street. The opin'
ion is that pipe of that diameter is mad
equate to the needs of the city IN its
present size, to say nothing of the me-
cessities which viii come with future
growth. II should be remembered,
however, that our sewer system was
planned by a competent engineer OF
largo experience and his Judgment
in the matter is better than that of per-
sons who have not made sewers par
ticular study. 1t must also be kept IN
mind that the Front street sewer is only
a part of the system, and when those
10 be put in on Second and Third streets
are constructed there viii not be as
great territory TO be drained by the
Front street pipe as there seems to be
at present.
